The three main sections of this code are for controlling the NeoPixels, using the MCP23017's, and sending serial commands to the Bluefruit EZ-Key.
You can find all of the code documented below.
To reference the tables I used for the serial commands, should you want to adapt the code for some other use, go to the wonderfully table-y page below.

//This code is a mix of Adafruit examples and my own customization.
// Connect pin #12 of the expander to Analog 5 (i2c clock)
// Connect pin #13 of the expander to Analog 4 (i2c data)
// Connect pins #15, 16 and 17 of the expander to ground (address selection)
// Connect pin #9 of the expander to 5V (power)
// Connect pin #10 of the expander to ground (common ground)
// Connect pin #18 through a ~10kohm resistor to 5V (reset pin, active low)
// Input #0 is on pin 21 so connect a button or switch from there to ground
